The Obsessive Agony Of Lust

Self lost in obsessive agony,
Your primal passion - a flaming ferocity,
The raging fire consumes your dignity,
And shame is put to slumber.

Seduced by the wayward twin of Love,
Power of deviation subdued,
On pathway of despair you tread:
A burden too heavy to bear.

Mind drowning in bitter-sweetened sensation,
Onto elusive dream you strive to hold fast,
but alas, it keeps vanishing like mirage in a vast
Desert: a volatile mix of hope and anxiety.

Raving lunatic you've become
Seeking savage-desire's fulfillment;
An ugly reflection of nature devoid of contentment.
Lust: a nightmare in the lonely bed of infatuation.
